This is true.

Since the upper 10% of wage earners pay 85% of all income taxes.

The upper 1% pays 56% of all income taxes.

The middle class already doesn't pay much income tax. Unless you're single and without kids.

A family of 4 earning $75,000 per year that saves 10% for retirement has a 5% effective tax rate at maximum. It can be even lower than that.

Our income tax system is already built around demand-side economic theory.
